Genetics/Hereditary is the passing on of characteristics from one generation to the next. The process of genetics occurs among all living things including animals, plants, bacteria and fungi. Genetics are in molecules called Deoxyribonnucleic Acid (DNA). DNA is a necessary molecule that is apparent in all living things.
Genetically inherited diseases are diseases that are passed down through generations within your family. These diseases are specifically transfered through the genes in our DNA. These diseases are passed down by carriers of mutated and defective genes. It is important to be aware and understand what you may be at risk of contracting, due to your family history, so that if you are susceptible of becoming ill you can take precautinary measures to help prevent the illness from becoming life threatening.
